Hello,

As the title suggests, how do you manage your DBs for docker services.

Do you spin a new DB for every new docker cluster or do you have a centralized DB that is accessible to the docker clusters.

What are the pros and cons of both method?

For the moment, I spin a new DB for every services as I feel it is easier to backup the service in case of a problem.

    a breach of one container means access to the data of all containers

    How so? Each service uses its own database with credentials that provide access only to that database. Unless on top of a breach in your container there is some zero-day in your DBMS - which I find highly improbable - no other data will be affected.
